After decoding the attached APK, the sdkInfo property in apktool.yml file is set to null. However, both AndroidManifest.xml and aapt dump badging show proper values.

It looks like with latest aapt/aapt2 I don’t see this property used, so unsure what part of compile time it is used for. Must be some support library/gradle checks.

I’ve made a note to check again when I finish up newest binaries, but this doesn’t appear to have a flag at aapt2/aapt1 level. PR linked above.

Thanks, this is because there is a new param compileSdkVersion added into uses-sdk. The system nulls out all if it encounters bad data.

I’ll do some tests and push up a fix.

opinion - it seems to basically act as “max”, which they deprecated.
